Subject: Great first half of the competition but then we're reminded that this is Maryland and we can't prep a contestant for a National pageant and she comes out with a horrible talent selection (whoever advised her to sing that should resign immediately from pageantry and go into ANY other hobby) and then she gets a basic question about the election and she tells us to "support both candidates." Did anyone in Maryland even spend one minute prepping this girl on anything other than swimsuit?

[> Subject: Re: MISS MARYLAND WINS BIG @ ARRIVAL CEREMONY AS DOUBLE FINALIST: QUALITY OF LIFE as well as WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARD Author: More Prep for Miss and Teens [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, September 13, 06:46:54am I'm very proud of Hannah's accomplishments, but the song choice was off. There are so many more songs that she could've sang! I agree Miss contestants need better prep and Teens need better National prep as well. The Teens get lost in the shuffle, and haven't faired well at Nationals. Maybe it's time to separate the Teen Competion from the Miss Competition. Teens should have different judges as well. It was very awkward to have the primarily Men Judging panel scoring the Teens. There has been a huge emphasis and time spent in the Princess and Prince program, and their numbers are booming. We need that enthusiasm and time devoted to help grow the Teen program, too. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: At the risk of sounding like a negative Nelly, I have to completely agree. First, I am SO proud of Hannah, she did us so proud. Top 7 is such an accomplishment. I'm just disappointed in the "experts" who were advising her. Bad song choice and she should have been grilled on how to respond to questions about the election. But either way she gave one of the most terrific swimsuit presentations on the Miss A stage. I just wish she was a little more well rounded - she could have placed a bit higher.
